I love how the BBC are reporting that as if 31,000 people is a big number in a country with a 300million population.

It almost seems like it's too late for gun control now. Even if we get assault rifles banned, the guns are already out there in the general populace. People will just buy and sell them illegally or stalk up before a ban takes affect.

Any major law takes a long time to reach its effect. Guns have a usable life; in a generation or so the number of guns per person will drop down significantly.
And that'll happen even faster if the government institutes a buyback like they did in Australia.
